The Challenger Wav
As an educational company, Challenger believes that the child is the most important aspect of
everything we do. We have developed a unique way of coaching which we call `The Challenger
�,j Way'. So, what does The Challenger Way mean?In short, it means:
a) Fun...at all times.
b) Exciting unique leading edge learning curriculums
c) All Challenger coaches, coach children, not activities/practices
d) Teaching children techniques and tactics in a way that makes them feel good about
themselves whatever their ability, and enabling them to build their own self-confidence
and self-esteem.
e) Children learn most when participating. Our practices involve maximum participation
and contact with ba1L
� We also encourage children to primarily compete against themselves. That way they can
always be striving for improvement whatever their ability and they are never judged
against"who is the best".
g) We also believe that trying hard is as important as doing well. Effort, and trying ones
best, should always be rewarded.
h) We believe that children do not learn from being embarrassed,punished for making
mistakes, or from being criticized. We encourage children to learn new skills without the
fear of failure and our encouraging staff will be there to support them all the way with
positive feedback about what they are doing well...not what they aren't doing!
i) The Challenger coach plays an important role in enabling all children to become
\./' independent learners, and thus enable them to develop important social and psychological
skills. As such, we don't tell children what to do all the time; we ask questions and guide �
learning.
j) We believe that sport is about more than well...sport. We believe sport can teach children
important social and moral skills, like citizenship, sharing, respect for others, as well as
developing positive attitudes towards learning.
k) Above anything else The Challenger Way encourages children to enjoy themselves and
enjoy sport at whatever level they so desire. We aim to put smiles on many young faces!
